Yes, Frank, thank for your reply. I now think these may not belong to the coupe at all. I've done several other projects over the past few years (a '59 TBird, a '66 Nova, and currently a '67 Mustang). I think maybe I put these parts on the wrong shelf and got them mixed up with the '29 Plymouth parts. Maybe the Mustang; they kinda look like later manufacture than '29. This is embarrassing...

While gathering parts to go for powder coating I came across these 2 pieces that I failed to label. I can remember what they are or where they go. I am feeling pretty stupid to have to ask but this is driving me nuts. There are captured nuts on the side arms which had large rubber washers on the back side (for vibration?). I don't know how thick the washers were either. Thanks for the help. mc

I am still looking to buy 2 "bumper plates" (picture attached). Bent, cracked, or even broken parts are acceptable. The face on the ones I have is flat, not slightly curved like one I bought off the internet. Thanks for your help. Kim McModify message

Hi Chet. I have some pictures attached of my '29 coupe that may help you. One picture shows the P-side door frame with windlass-type seal along the inside edge of the door opening. This picture also shows the 4-piece garnish molding around the rear window. Also note above the upper left corner of the rear window (L in picture) one of the two hangers for the roll-down type rear window shade. I do not remember that there was any weatherstrip anywhere in the door jambs or door frame but I could be wrong about that. The pictures don't show any evidence that a rubber seal was ever there however. If I find a picture that clearly shows the hinge post and open door, I will send it along. Kim

Those parts on my car were once black as were the "retainer plates" on the front of the upper and lower chrome bars that hold those two bars in place. Except for the chrome bars, I plan to have all of these parts powder coated black. Has anyone else done this?

On the early Plymouths, like my '29, there seem to have been different plating coatings used on different parts. I could use some help with this.

steel wheel rims: cadmium Did anything else receive cadmium plating?bumpers: chrome or nickel? I've seen lots of chrome but an old timer told me they were nickel originally. What is the consensus?headlights and radiator cowl: chrome? My headlights are original (I believe) and chrome. Same for radiator cowl?door handles and window cranks: nickel

Not a problem Chet. I am in no hurry. I have projects that need doing in my shop to last a second life-time. I need to find someone here that can do my engine. The "big name" shop wanted $5K to start!! Won't be going there. Have a very good holiday season. And thanks. Kim Mc

Happy Holidays to you and your family too Chet. And thank you especially for managing and maintaining this site. It is really great to be able to exchange information with other early Plymouth owners. Best regards, Kim Mc
